I have the same see. I've verified using a dial indicator and they were all well within factory spec. How much were they bent by? What was the run-out?


I check and post on this after I rack up the miles.

I have a set of 17" oem wheels that I use for track. They don't look real pretty, but they do the trick. I had a tire professional check them and put tires on them and he said they were in good shape - not out of round. I have Nexxens on them with plenty of tread left. These aren't sticky tires, they are more of an inexpensive option for getting out and having fun and not wearing out the other more expensive wheels and tires that I use for street.

I am interested in getting rid of these wheels. Laying low and cutting out track days to reduce wear on the car due to employment situation.

If interested, PM me and I will put together some pics and a price. I'm in north Atlanta / Alpharetta, GA.

I also have two wall mount tire hangers from Griot's Garage that I never installed, if someone is interested in getting their spare tires off the floor and nicely organized on the wall. This link is the 13". I will have to measure what I have but they are longer and one post holds two tires.
